Ever wish that you could say what you really feel about something going on in Klal? Ever wonder just why Klal acts/thinks the way it does? Here members of Klal can have the conversations they should be having but that aren't happening elsewhere, except, perhaps, in whispered conversations in dark corners. Say what you mean here, and let us hope that some conversation now will lead to changes later, some changes that are long overdue in Klal.

One Answer to the Tuition DilemmaA friend of one of my daughters offered the following as one answer to the high cost of tuition. Her friend teaches full time in yeshiva. Her salary is less than $20,000 per year. HOWEVER, her four children attend this same yeshiva at no cost, a savings of almost $60,000 in tuition. Whoa! In order to pay that tuition bill if she were not teaching in the yeshiva she would need to have a gross salary in the $85,000 plus range. This is surely a win-win situation for the mother and for the yeshiva--she pays no tuition and they get a teacher for cheap. Of course, there is that little problem hidden in this information. The school is missing $60,000 in tuition money. And someone is going to have to make up that money. Any guesses as to who will do so?
